Seriously, Justin Theroux, Carrie Coon and whoever directed the hotel episode should be nominated fuck this.

You can find the rest yourself.
 
Agree about Dinklage. Plus he already has 2 Emmys, he'll live.

Tituss Burgess is currently killing it as the "sassy" celebrity panel member on the new Match Game with Alec Baldwin. He is a welcome change from Anthony Anderson who mostly just screams a lot.

The only other Emmy category that matters is:

Outstanding Host For A Reality Or Reality-Competition Program

American Idol • Ryan Seacrest, Host

Dancing With The Stars • Tom Bergeron, Host

Hollywood Game Night • Jane Lynch, Host

Little Big Shots • Steve Harvey, Host

Project Runway • Heidi Klum & Tim Gunn, Hosts

RuPaul’s Drag Race • RuPaul Charles, Host

Hello! YOU GO MAMA RU! FINALLY SOME RECOGNITION CAN I GET AN AMEN!

Well it makes sense, because the guest and supporting categories used to have no logic to them whatsoever. At least now there are rules for them.

The show should have thought ahead when they were putting people up for nominations.

But yeah it sucks.
